Oriented?

We were out the island on Sunday for the celebration of a baptism, and a day at the beach. (Say what you will about Robert Moses, he did know how to build a park — and parkways.) Before we left the restaurant to return home, our hosts asked if we knew the way back. Sure, just go back the way we came. Do you have a GPS? No, I have a map. 🙂 You should get a GPS; they’re great.

Are we so afraid of getting lost? Or are maps that hard to read? I don’t much want a GPS receiver for my car. I want one for trail mapping, so I can concentrate on walking.
